Hip, Adorable, and Educational – these t-shirts go beyond the call of duty…
 |
It is a beautiful concept – create custom, handmade products that introduce Braille to kids. And Julie Dutt, a busy homeschooling mom and army wife, has brought the idea to life with her unique children’s collection, Bitty Braille.
Bitty Braille tees feature simple “kid-friendly” words set in Braille type in either sparkly faceted metal studs for the girls or simple metal studs for the boys. The translation is hand-embroidered underneath in a simple print or cursive.
These are absolutely perfect gifts for showers, birthdays, etc. (You can even have the tees personalized with the child’s name.)
As an added bonus, a portion of every sale is donated to the American Foundation for the Blind (afb.org).
And – don’t miss out on their end-of-summer sale. All the short sleeve tees are on sale for 25% off!
If you would like to win a tee for a little one in your life, just leave a comment to be entered. We’ll draw a random winner on Friday, Sept 14th. (We will have two winners and this contest is open to both US and Canadian shipping addresses.)
5 Minutes for YOU to read, relax, & connect with other moms. We're here to inspire, encourage & empower you.

Super cute idea!
What a wonderful idea, I have 2 now grown daughters who are legally blind and they have learned braille recently. These shirts would have been a wondeful tool for them while they were young, they would also have been a great learning tool for all those adults who used to stare at my babies because they were wearing glasses!!!
Cute, and a multi-sensory way for my preschooler to learn to spell!
Sydney would love to wear your T shirt.

We have a 2 1/2 year old little boy named Mason who was born blind. We’ve been looking for clothing items with Braille on them. We’ve contacted several local embroidery shops to see if they could make us a shirt with his name in Braille, but no luck.
